First attach a few autobiographical novels written by the heroine:
You used to wrap yourself in fairy tales like a blanket. But it was the cold you loved.
Sharp shivers as you uncovered the corpses of Bluebeard's wives.
Sweeter goose bumps as Prince Charming slid one glass slipper over your little toes, a perfect fit.
But by the schoolyard, real princesses floated by you on fall winds.
You saw the gulf between you and the rich girls, and vowed to stop believing in fairy tales.
But the stories were in you, deep as poison,
If Prince Charming was real, if he could save you, you needed to be saved from the unfairness of everything.
When would he come? The answer was a cruel shrug in a hundred fleeting moments.
The sneer on Stevie Smith's face when he called you a fat cow.
Uncle Jeff's hand squeezing your ass in the Thanksgiving kitchen.
The accusation in your father's eyes when you told him what happened.
From every boy masquerading as a man that you let into your body, your heart,
you learned you didn't have whatever magic turns a beast into a prince.
In fact, only when the heroine knocked down these words in the glass room, the core of the play was unreservedly revealed: feminism. Many people may think that the absolute protagonist of this play is the male lead, that is, the man who kills without blinking and plays with the female lead and lives between applause. I don't think so. On the contrary, I think the director wants to tell stories about women from the first point of view of men. Therefore, this is a fable American drama that is alert to modern women.
With the suspenseful murder as the cloak, it is not an absurd drama. You can pick out the loopholes in the case, but this is not the focus of this drama. The insight of this play is: when you encounter a stalker and murderer boyfriend and get stuck in it, will you still choose to love him? But in reality, most people do not meet the suitors of murderous madmen. So, what does this story really want to tell?
Perfect boyfriend
Too good to be true boyfriend? nonexistent.
This is New York. It is a super metropolis with a population of 8 million, with more women than men. The male protagonist is innocent, loyal, and has a nice face and is meticulous. Sorry, this won't be true. The reason for his excessive NICE is either profitable, GAY, or abnormal. The male protagonist in the play is obviously the last one. The hostess wrote in the text, "Why didn't I think about it earlier, it's obviously not true." Some girls may be immersed in love for each other, and it is difficult to see the true face of this man (paying personality). Some girls are immersed in the other person's goodness to themselves and feel that they are incredibly attractive (narcissistic personality), just like the heroine. There are also girls such as KAREN who calmly observe each other's actions, whether they are the material of long-term relationships, whether they are good people, they all look at them, but they don't say anything. Even if you are dumped, you can leave unrestrainedly. To the third party, he said calmly, "Thank you for letting me see his true colors and successfully let go."
We don’t be PLAYER, we don’t be silly, we don’t even be "girls". It's okay to be a human being who can think rationally. Don't expect that prodigal son to stay for you. The tricks he used to fascinate you can also fascinate others. If what you love is his coldness and his detachment, then you only love the self who is indulging in love. In the face of a man like a protagonist, friends are not worthy of doing it. How about a lover? I admire KAREN. I don’t play games and I really give, but I see every bit of the other party’s tricks in my eyes.
Glass house
This ironically became "A Room of One's own" by Virginia Woof.
The girl was imprisoned. She never expected that the person who loved her in her heart would hurt her. Yes. This kind of love is unusual and perverted. He wants to control you, understand your whereabouts, and understand who your friends are. He doesn't want you to interact with these people. Are you his Barbie, pet, or canary in a cage? He treats you meticulously, so that you can kill, but once it touches his own interests, he immediately becomes the Blue Beard himself.
Along the way, you want to make a good boyfriend who can protect you, take care of you, and satisfy you materially. Ironically, he did. Now, you can do your own work in the hut he built for you. He brings you food, water, and things you like to eat every day. What I'm talking about here is not a glass house, but something called "marriage". Think carefully. How similar these two are. In traditional values, girls are educated to marry a prince. They worked hard to train their bodies, apply fat and powder, and finally marry a handsome man. However, in the end, you lived in the "trap" he prepared for you. You have become a full-time housewife, and you have cut off contact with the world, society, and friends. There is no one else in the house, only you. You watch TV, cook, and wash your clothes by yourself. You wait for him to come back, but he has been socializing. Even if you give birth to a child one day, there will only be one more person to accompany you in the glass room. You can't escape, because the key is always with him. You think marriage is the perfect fairy tale ending, but you don't know that it is also a confinement at the same time. Those terrible domestic abusers, not all from a normal boyfriend to a monster who sees his wife do whatever they want. He feels that giving you the eaves can ruin everything about you.
The prince built a glass room for you, and gave you water, food, and coffee. He didn't deliberately want to imprison you, he just wanted to love you. Just like to pets.
It's a pity that you can't see the sun in this glass house. It is not what you want after all.
So, while we are not completely numb, while we still have a trace of strength, while we are not indulged in such convenience,
Wake up and get out.
Men
These men are really spoiled.
The heroine's father is a scumbag. There is no way to give her a beautiful childhood. Started a family with another woman. Let her become a complete outsider. Facing the uncle of Salty Pigshou, he turned aside. The female protagonist has always claimed to have DADDY ISSUE, probably because of the lack of parental love since childhood, so that she has always wanted to get the attention and affirmation of men when she was growing up. It is not difficult to explain why she is so sloppy.
The teacher the hostess met wanted to take advantage of her. The deterioration of teacher-student relations is not only in the United States, but also in major universities in China. That's the power of university professors. Why not give high scores in exchange for the sweetness of "old and strong". Even publishers do things, which is really frustrating. Is this world full of men who think with their lower body and treat women as animals? A woman is reduced to a "handmaid" because she can give birth, and a "prostitute" because of a vagina? I remember that there was a domestic violence advertisement in the United States, which showed men rising up and telling the camera that my mother is a woman, my sister is a woman, and my sister is also a woman. Why did they not think of the first thing when they were doing those disgusting things, this girl, first of all, a person, a person of the same species as my mother?
Men, don’t they just take advantage of not having children? This game is unfair. Perhaps one day, when all of us women put aside their families and children to compete with men fairly and compete for the world, there will be no "second sex", and there will be no such men who do whatever they want and flaunt their teeth and claws.
"friend"
No friends are better than 100 "friends". You should learn to be friends with yourself first.
The hostess likes to socialize with rich people. I don't know where she got the money to go to a private university, but she did it. Also mixed into the circle of those rich girls. But is she happy? not at all. They talk about comparisons with nothing more than luxury goods, parties, and relationships between men and women. These things have invaded the heroine's time and energy a lot, and at the same time eroded her personality. Those who are near the ink are black. If the hostess has a healthier circle of friends, perhaps some friends can warn her that this boyfriend is unreliable. Maybe she doesn't have to indulge in various vanity fairs, comparisons, and entanglements with PEACH. Addiction is a monster. What the heroine loves is more than money, sex, love, and vanity, vanity, and vanity.
Perhaps, even if the hostess makes a friend that suits her, she will still be killed. But at least she will become more real, more like an independent person. Instead of constantly pleasing her, even friends treat her as a plaything. At least, besides her boyfriend, she will have people who really care about her and treat her well.
Write at the end
It's not easy for girls. It is possible to be seduced by the teacher and ridiculed by the classmates. It is possible to be laughed as fat as a pig, but still can't escape the salty pig's hands. It is possible to be raped because of wearing too revealingly, and the corpse is lying on the street at midnight. It is possible to finally marry an honest man but be domestically abused or cheated. The heroine in the play is already a great SAY NO in many places, whether it is facing a teacher or a publisher. Although she still did not escape the devil wearing the prince mask.
The world is a garden, the world is a castle.
One day, we will also teach the girls:
The world is a battlefield, the world is a dungeon.
You have to be ready to fight at any time, like a man, no, more ferocious than a man!
You have to be vigilant and protect yourself at all times,
Defend your rights and take good care of your freedom.
You will not be like BECK, nor will you meet the murderous JOE, this is just a TV series.
But please note that this world is by no means good.
